skipping_targets

You might wish to not execute DWYU on some specific targets. An easy way to do so is tagging a target with dwyu:skip. You can however also define a custom tag to mark targets which shall be skipped by the DWYU analysis.

Executing the following fails due to the target using a header without a proper dependency.

bazel build --config=dwyu //skipping_targets:bad_target

Executing the following succeeds due to the target being tagged with dwyu:skip.

bazel build --config=dwyu //skipping_targets:bad_target_skipped

Executing the following showcases the same skipping behavior, but for the tag mmy_tag. See the bazelrc file and aspect.bzl for the definition of the config and the aspect configuration.

bazel build --config=dwyu_custom_skipping //skipping_targets:bad_target_custom_skip

Executing the following showcases how we can ignore targets from external workspaces. See the bazelrc file and aspect.bzl for the definition of the config and the aspect configuration.

bazel build --config=dwyu_skip_external //skipping_targets:use_broken_external_dependency
